Not Really Missing, Just Not Seen

I noticed that it has been a rather long time since I've even mentioned the Pine Warblers. Which is an amazing omission: they're definitely a favorite species. We are enveloped by pines, mostly Loblollies, and thus this conifer specialist is easy to find. Well, at least easy to hear. Their metallic call is quite distinctive, and even noticeably different from the usually quieter Chipping Sparrow's "machine gun." But the Pine Warblers don't seem to show up at the suet feeder, so they often seem invisible. No matter. They are around and I hope to see more of them this winter!

About Me

This Wingscapes BirdCam enthusiast and keeper of a well-stocked "bird cafe" has been watching birds in Cary for over 18 years. I adopted the BirdCam in December 2007 and have been working with the product daily, recording over 35 species locally and gaining significant experience with the use of this amazing device. I'm not a "power birder." While I enjoy birdwatching in the field, I appreciate the simple delights of the birds found in my own backyard or in places just down the street. These are truly interesting places and I never tire of the little stories told every day in those places. The birds are central to this experience, but expect me to talk about the things that also are part of the birdwatching experience here at Cary BirdCam, from buying bird seed to crunching numbers in the logbook. Thanks for being a reader!
